A MOTHER’S PLEA. A screenshot from a Facebook post of Herchelle Saraza expressing her grief from her son’s death.
Henson Saraza, known as "Sonson," and Aicelle Xyrene Manguerra, known as "Daday," both residents of Barangay Malagasang and Barangay Alapan in Imus City, Cavite, were seen dead after reported missing on March 20.
Sonson's mother, Herchelle, revealed on Facebook that her son had been recovered in an abandoned car with flat tires, dead, with a few scratches on his face, 24 hours after he had gone missing.
"Baka po may nakakita sa inyo, anak ko po siya, 7 years old, maitim, Henson po name niya, nakasuot ng terno, pasuyo na lang po, salamat po," in an attempt to locate her son, she posted on several social media platforms asking for help.
Sonson went to Green Park with other kids trading scraps on Sunday morning, according to a Facebook user named Kimmy Purs, a trusted friend of Sonson's parents and Sonson has not returned home since that time.
Sonson, the eldest of Herchelle and Zaine Saraza's children, grew up fully aware of his family's poverty as he is exchanging scraps and rubbish in exchange for money.
Herchelle and her husband have been looking for assistance in bringing justice to her son's mysterious death as well as financial assistance in providing Sonson with a proper burial.
Some of the homeowners in neighboring subdivisions have already contributed enough money to cover the cost of the child's burial.
Daday's lifeless body, on the other hand, was discovered on a concealed section of the road in Barangay Alapan 2B after being missing for more than 24 hours.
Daday was last seen on March 20, Sunday morning, as her mother, Arriane, shared her worry on Facebook in the hopes that someone might have spotted her daughter and be able to contact her.
"Whoever saw this child. Please let me or her mother know. She has been missing for more than 24 hours. Na report na din po and still reviewing cctv. Convo namin ng mama nya about Last seen as of 10am. Ps. Sa mga taga green estate din, pakicheck naman kung may nakita kayong batang babae ayan po picture. Thankyou!!!" a Facebook user named Monalyn Apawan Aplaon posted.
Daday's last known location was confirmed via a closed-circuit television camera in Barangay Alapan 2B and she and her friends were last spotted on Sunday afternoon at Jollibee Lancaster.
